This book was released on 2020-01-02 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.

Download or read book Relationship Between Perceived Stress and Depression in College Students written by Katherine Skipworth and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Other studies have previously demonstrated that perceived stress and maladaptive stress management can lead to harmful outcomes including depression, morbidity, and mortality. College students (especially freshmen) have more difficulty dealing with stress, which can increase their susceptibility to engage in high risk behaviors. The importance of conducting this research is to discover the effects that perceived stress levels may have on depression outcomes in college students, and to evaluate the influence of health related behaviors on this relationship. This study used a retrospective cross-sectional correlational design to examine correlations between perceived stress, physical activity, and other health behaviors on clinical and perceived depression in college students. A random sample of 20,000 students was drawn from 62,476 students enrolled at Arizona State University (ASU). Participants included 2,238 students who volunteered to take the American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) in spring 2009. Supplemental questions for ASU students were developed by ASU Wellness and administered as a part of the ACHA-NCHA II. The university sent an invitation email, wherein students were directed through a hyperlink to the survey website. ACHA provided institutional survey data in an SPSS file for analysis. The data were evaluated with Spearman Rho Correlation Analysis and Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. There were more female participants (n = 580) than males (n = 483), both averaged 23 years of age. Men had greater height, weight, and body mass index than females, all were significant mean differences. There were more significant correlations between health factors and having perceived depression than with having real or diagnosed depression. Logistic regression showed that out of all variables and behaviors studied, only high levels of stress, poor general health, substance use, and gender (female) resulted in significant odds in predicting that a participant would be in one of the depression categories. This research suggests that addressing these factors may be important to prevent and reduce depression among college students. This study provides empirical evidence that there is a significant relationship between perceived stress and depression among college students, and that health behaviors such as substance abuse have a negative mediating effect on this relationship.

Download or read book Frequency and Perceived Causes of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Among Medical Students of a Private Medical Institute in Pakistan written by Syeda Rubaba Azim and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research conducted in an educational setting is usually a complex undertaking, even in the most ideal situations. This even becomes more challenging if you are not affiliated with the research site and must obtain permission from the institution to perform research. In addition to thinking about the usual research methodological concerns and gaining ethical approval, you also need to schedule research activities according to the availability time of teachers and students. This case study discusses a research project conducted in a private medical institute in Pakistan with the aim to address the medical students' level of mental distress, to assess their perceptions of its causes, and to gather their suggestions for possible solutions. I discuss my research process beginning with the choices of methodologies and how they guided me in answering my central research question. I chose mixed methodology to conduct this research because by mixing both quantitative and qualitative methods, a researcher gains deeper and comprehensive understanding of the research problem than by using either a quantitative or qualitative approach alone. In this case study, I first collected quantitative data through a validated questionnaire; the qualitative phase involved focus groups to gain better and deep understanding of the problem.As a pedagogical tool, this study is intended to help other researchers and students learn how to carry out a mixed-method research project. The research methods used are outlined step by step and discussed; readers are brought into the research process, including ethical issues, confidentiality considerations, and challenges encountered, and how to deal with them.

Book excerpt: "College students make up a population that is greatly affected by high levels of stress, with over half experiencing more than average levels of stress (American College Health Association, 2018). This study looks at different coping mechanisms students can implement into their daily lives to intervene with higher stress levels. The study consisted of a controlled stress intervention experiment with a stressor and four tested intervention methods, along with a control method. The four tested conditions were listening to music, yoga, meditation, and a breathing exercise. The participants were given a survey asking about their perceived stress levels prior to the introduction of the stressor, after the stressor, and also after the implementation of the intervention method. The results suggest that each tested intervention method is significantly related to a decrease in the perceived stress levels from the introduction of the stressor to after the implementation of the intervention method."--Abstract

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical students experience a high degree of stress, which can impact their emotional, psychological, and physical health and also negatively affect their academic performance. Medical educators, accrediting bodies, and policymakers are aware of this growing problem, and medical schools have instituted wellness programs with varying components including academic support, physical wellbeing, social extracurricular activities, psychological support services, student interest groups, faculty advising, and student mentoring programs. The purpose of this explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods research study was to examine medical students' perceived stress levels and their participation in wellness program initiatives that are instituted as a means of promoting medical student wellbeing. The research questions addressed in this study included (a) To what extent do medical students experience stress?, (b) Is there a significant difference in medical students' perceived stress level by demographics (class year, gender, age, race/ethnicity?, (c) In which school-sponsored wellness activities do medical students choose to participate to help them manage the stress associated with being a medical student?, and (d) How do medical students describe the role of different medical school-sponsored wellness programs as a means of reducing stress? This explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods research study surveyed 1,057 medical students at a large, urban, private, not-for-profit, Mid-Atlantic medical school during the dominant, quantitative phase. The qualitative phase then utilized a focus group interview to help clarify the results. This study helped increase the current knowledge base regarding how medical students utilize wellness programs to manage stress. Participants revealed sources of stress include high volume of work, lack of time, observing patient suffering, and the recent unanticipated changes related to the COVID-19 situation. Findings also indicated manifestations of stress include worry, fear, sleep disorders, appetite loss, weight loss, and lack of personal care. Furthermore, students provided insight into the positive and negative perceptions of wellness programs. This study helped increase the current knowledge base regarding how medical students utilize wellness programs to manage stress.

Download or read book PREVALENCE AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY, STRESS AND DEPRESSION IN MEDICAL STUDENTS written by Gustavo Olszanski Acrani and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOAL: Evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with anxiety, stress and depression symptoms in students from two medical schools in Passo Fundo (RS), a public one and a private.BACKGROUND: It is estimated that 15% to 25% of college students present some type of psychiatric disorder during their academic training. In this context, the prevalence of anxiety and depression among medical students is higher than in the general population. Psychological sufferings during medical training are associated with poor academic performance, unwillingness to care for the chronically ill, and decreased empathy, factors that affect the quality of care provided by the future physicians.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study with 377 students. The Beck Inventory of Anxiety, Stress Symptoms for Adults from Lipp and Beck Depression were used. Sociodemographic and behavioral variables collected by structured questionnaire.RESULTS: Females were positively associated with anxiety. Females, stage of the course and satisfaction with the course were positively associated with stress. Satisfaction with the course has a positive association with dysphoria or depression., while the practice of physical exercises, negative association. The prevalence of outcomes is illustrated in Fig. 1. Figure 2 shows the distribution of positive outcomes for the anxiety, stress, and depression scales per semester studied in percentage.CONCLUSION: High levels of depression and anxiety were observed in medical students, compared to the general population. There are marked differences between the course semesters in the stress variable. There is no significant difference between public and private universities. The gender variable influences anxiety and stress levels, but not depression. Satisfaction with the course is associated with levels of stress and depression. Practicing physical exercise regularly is a protective factor against the outcome of depression.
